Potluck & Film Screening

FREE Vegan Potluck
and Film Screening

Sunday, May 6
noon - 3:00

Humboldt Area Foundation
Community Center
373 Indianola Road, Bayside

Vegucated is a feature-length documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. But can their conviction carry them when times get tough? What about on family vacations fraught with skeptical step-dads, carnivorous cousins, and breakfast buffets? Part sociological experiment, part science class, and part adventure story, Vegucated showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who share one journey and ultimately discover their own paths in creating a kinder, cleaner, greener world, one bite at a time.

This event is open to the public and is free of charge. Attendees should bring a Cinco de Mayo themed vegan dish to share, as well as their own plates, cups, and utensils. (Vegan means no animal products, including meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey, etc.)

The potluck will start at noon and the Vegucated screening will begin promptly at 1:00. Guests are welcome to attend just one portion of the event or the other if they wish.
